About this album
Where they were
All or Nothing was Milli Vanilli's second album, following their blockbuster debut, Girl You Know It's True, which catapulted them to fame in 1989. At this point, they were navigating the pressures of maintaining their explosive popularity while facing scrutiny over their authenticity as performers.
Why it matters
The album includes the hit single 'Girl You Know It's True', which would later be enveloped in controversy due to the group's lip-syncing scandal. Despite its commercial success and peak positions on international charts, the ensuing fallout from their deception led to Grammy revocation and a significant shift in public perception of the duo.
